The most immediately striking thing about Guillermo del Toro’s latest film “El Laberinto del Fauno” (Pan’s Labyrinth) is that it is entirely in Spanish with English subtitles yet still draws large crowds in Dublin’s ordinary multi-screen cinemas. The film, a mixture of fantastic fairy-tale and dramatic account of life in post civil war Spain, follows the journey of a highly imaginative young girl called Ofelia. Ofelia’s mother has married a sadistic fascist army Captain, who is engaged in a battle with local guerrillas throughout the film, and she is forced to move to his remote outpost despite a complicated and pregnancy. ... read full story / add a comment

If a high dose of radiation element, Polonium 210, can be a tool of quick assassination, lower doses (as in typical cigarettes) are no less tools of homicide. Ask health officials, et al, why Po-210 is still permitted in cigarettes, with zero warning to anyone. Ask why smokers and Pub Proprietors bear the burdens of law, but the cig makers, ingredient suppliers, and complicit regulators go free. ... read full story / add a comment

Pierre Gemayel (zh?m?'?l) was the leader of the Kataeb, the fascist Maronite Christian Phalangist party. These are anti-arab race supremacists who hark back to the good old colonial days when the French put them in charge of the 'wee province' of Lebanon they had partitioned off from Syria. In those days the favoured Maronites were at the top of the racial hierarchy which the French used to secure their control. ... read full story / add a comment

The Poker-wielding one: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76928 has advanced the theory that a law will soon be launched to endow the eunuchs of the nation the right to defence of property: "Sure you cannot take it with you..." This funny little law by the Minister for Injustice brings to mind the right of all American Citizens to bear arms- and we can see how well that turned out. ... read full story / add a comment

About 1,150 Non National parents of Irish Born Children, who had previously been denied the right to stay for various reasons under the IBC/05 Administrative Scheme, won a landmark case at the High Court on Tuesday November 14, 2006. The presiding Judge, Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan said the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform had breached the rights of several Irish-born children under both the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights Act in how he considered the applications for leave to remain here of their parents, the judge quashed the Minister's refusals in all but one case. The decision relates only to non-national parents of children born before January 1st, 2005. ... read full story / add a comment

Scientists who study human evolution have discovered the evolutionary origins of morality. The concept of morality exists in every culture on Earth, but the morals themselves are different, which causes a lot of conflict in the world. Now that the Democrats own the U.S. Congress, I’m sure that conflict is about to get very interesting… ... read full story / add a comment

IRISH PRISONS AND HUMANITY Open Letter to: Governor John Lonergan. Mr. Lonergan, You became Governor of Mountjoy Prison in the 1983. You replaced Paddy McFadden from Belmullet in Co. Mayo.

In a press release on 19th August 2006, the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey, announced the latest round of exploration licences for the Donegal, Slyne and Erris Basins. The future of Ireland's oil and gas resources is now being decided by the Irish Government in a process patently lacking in democratic legitmacy and accountability. These issues were debated at the “Exploring Atlantic Ireland 2006” conference sponsored by the Department and other interested parties. The conference discussed the so-called Irish Atlantic Margin Petroleum Province, the industry term for the Porcupine, Rockall, Slyne, Erris, and Donegal basins. The conference press statement stated that what it termed the “waters west of Ireland” contain several large sedimentary basins, broadly similar geologically to the basins of the Atlantic margins of Norway, the UK (the North Sea fields), and Canada (the Newfoundland fields). ... read full story / add a comment

It’s that time of year again folks. Yep, it’s budget time. But this year is a little different due to the upcoming elections scheduled for this summer. Brian Cowen has got his Santa Claus costume on again and he’s going to open his magic sack and give us what we all want for crimbo. Because of course, we have been very good boys and girls all year – and haven’t passed even one motion of “no confidence” in his government. This, despite the fact that Bertie has been up to his eyes in crap all year. No surprise I suppose, and from what I make of it they’ll be back in again next term with Labour. Sure with their sluttish ways, it’s quite obvious that if they’re so willing to get into bed with the Blueshirts, they’d jump into the leaba with anybody (i.e. Fianna Fail) and to hell with the “working man” they claim to stand for……but that’s another story….. ... read full story / add a comment |
